Mavis Staples
Mavis Staples is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, a Grammy Award and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner, and a National Heritage Fellowship Award recipient. VH1 named her as one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll, and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Mavis Staples is wholly responsible for blazing a rhythm and blues trail while never relinquishing her gospel roots, and it because of that her star has continued to shine bright over her 67-year long career.
From Mavis’ ground-breaking family gospel group The Staple Singers to individual work, she’s produced musical hit after musical including I’ll Take You There, Respect Yourself, and If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me).
Her two collaborations with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy You Are Not Alone and One True Vine, have also earned her a Grammy Award and a whole new generation of fans whose legions grow with every performance.
She’s always ready to return ‘home’ to Australia so… If You’re Ready… Come Go With Me and be there to welcome back Mavis Staples on her national Australian tour!
